GREENvILLE, Tx, Nov. 1s.-On
Thursday the atmosphere became quite
smoky, but attracted no special attention
or comment. On Friday morning the
smoke had become so dense as to present
the appearance of thick fog. The
supposed fog instead of scattering as the
day advanced, grew denser and denser
until by afternoon objects were scarcely
discernible across the square. Farmers
from the country reported the
same dense smoke everywhere
around. Lamps were lighted an
hour earlier than usual. The only
reasonable solution advanced was that
forest or prsirie fires are raging to the
north Of Us; and it was so reported by
railroad officials from Denison yesterday
evening, and that forest fires are burning
in South Arkansas to within thirty miles
OF Texarkana. The smoke is less
dense to-day, but the air is still quite
fcggy.

POPULAR ELECTION OF L.
SENATOR'S.

For nearly two months the West Vir,
ginia Legislature balloted day after day
to elect q United States Senator as the
successor of Mr.. Camden Of that state,
whose term expires on the Atm inst
There were several candidates, not one OF
whom could secure majority, and that
state of affairs known as "dead lock-
ensued. 1t was never broken, and the
Legislature finally adjourned without
electing q Senator. The Governor will
now exercise his constitutional preroga-
tive and name Mr.. Camden's successor
1t is such episodes as this that are calcu-
lated to strengthen the already strong
sentiment which favors election OF
United Ststes senators by the people di-
rect, and every time Legislature pro-
longs 3 senatorial contest or adjourns
without reaching g decision one
more rail is driven in the cot
fin that public opinion IS preparing for
the present system. 1t is not diff
cult to imagine how disguised if not out
ragged the people of West Virginia must
feel over the failure Of their Legislature
to make choice, and what a commentary
the outcome is on the system OF delegat-
ing to legislative bodies the prerogative
of electing the United States Senators.
OF course this West Virginia case is q
rare one; it is not often that legislatures
fail so signally to elect. But 1t is a fact
that n majority of the states wrangling
"deadlocks," wearying and disgusting
the people, are the rule and not the excep-
ton, and there is always the spprehen-
sion that what has Just occurred in West
is liable, at any time, to occur

it has not given; don't make the miser-
able towD worse than it really is by say

one way to deal with the difacsltg, and
that is to provide r'popular 'electien pf

of course, of limiting the number ofcan-
didstes to be balloted feE and whsHythat
number is three or more it Is difficult to
secure a majoritys$ Finally, aside from
the disgust engendered by the workings
OF the present system, the publc mind is
gravitating to the conclusion that the ma
tionsl Senate, elected as it is, is not the
representative body, not as near to the
people as IL ought to be. This sentiment
is growing and will continue to grow, and
it is fortified by the West Virginia failure,
by the disgreceful deadlock in New Jersey
and by every kindred occurrence or expe-
rience. Some of these days, and proba-
bly, esrlier than many men suppose, the
people will rise up and sweep away the
present system. Mr.. TerrelPs canvass

The short-Haul Provision
Philadelphia Record


a case has recently been decided by the
Railroad Commissioners Of Iowa that
serves to explain the practical operation
of that section of the interstate COM
merCe law relating to long end short
hauls. The Chicago, BURLINGTON and
Quincy Railroad Company arged 81 %
per ton for hauling coal from Cleveland to
Council Bluffs. At the same time the
company charged 81 so ton
for carrying coal from Cleveland
to GlenwOod, way station at
which the railroad is not subject to COM
petition with other lines, but which is
twenty miles nearer than Council Bluffs
to Cleveland. The railroad company
pleaded in defense of this I'M
just discrimination that the freight
rates for coal from Cleve-
land to Glenwood were as cheap as they
could be made, and that the lower rate
to Councils Bluffs was necessary in order
to compete ct that point with coal from
Missouri, Kansas and elsewhere. If
higher rates for coal should be charged to
Council Bluffs the company would be
driven out of that market.
But the Iowa commissioners, taking
the interstate commerce law of Congress,
have decided that the act hereinbefore set
forth was unjust discrimination in freight
charges. This Is the first official inter-
probation that has been given to the short
haul provision Of the act of Congress, and
its equity cannot well be disputed. In
fact, the case in point was one Of the in
EQUITIES in railroad discrimination that it
is the design of the law to prohibit. If
the company voluntarily carried coal g
certain distance for given rate it could
afford to carry the same commodity a
shorter distance for the same rate. 1t
was commended on behalf of the
company that the case came with
In the exceptions of the inter-
state commerce act allowing Giscrimina-
lions in ''unlike circumstances and con-
titions." But in what did the unlike
circumstances consist? Ia the facts that
Glenwood was not competing point,
and was nearer to the place of shipment
than that to which e much lower rate of
freight was charged. Such simply were
the differences in circumstances and con-
ditions. The non-competing point WAS
unfortunately in the absolute power Of
the railroad company, and had to pay for
its freights all that the traffic would bear.
But the new law of Congress has over
thrown the railroad dictum of the late
VIM. H. Vanderbilt. The map of the
country has been restored, and consum-
ers at interior points can no longer be
shut out Of equal advantages of markets
by the arbitrary action of railroad COM
panies in charging more for q short than
for long haul.
1t is not likely that the trunk lines of
railroad will cheerfully accept this inter

sion. They will continue to insist that in
all competition between modes Of trans
portation and "between markets." as in
this Iowa case, the short haul claim has
no application; and some OF them will
adhere to the iniquitOus practice of charg-
ing more for the shorter distance and the
lesser service until there shall have been
an authoritative decision by the highest
tribunal of the land upon the true mean
ing of the law. 1t is not probable that
the Supreme court will depart from the
natural and reasonable intent of the law
to reform crying abuses. But it is in the
highest degree desirs bic that there should
be an early decision by the Supreme
court upon the chief points that have been
raised in dispute by the trunk line man
ayers in regard TO this measure. If Sc
rious DEF, cts in the practical operation of
the law should be revealed Congress
could apply the remedy. In the mean
time, it may be safely assumed that the
interstate commerce commission soon to
be appointed will adhere to the spirit OF
the decision in Iowa in regard to the long
and short haul.

Two Corporations.
Chicago Herald,


Two monopoles are operated under
the laws of Illinois uncurbed by legis!s-
tive regulation.
One is Pullmsn's Palace Car Company,
which, while enjoying net revenue Of
more than 80 per cent. upon every car run,
persists in charging 81 berth for night.
Better service is furnished between New
York and Boston than between Chicago
and Springfield, ST. Louis, Peoria,
or Quincy for half a dollar less.
The company refuses it's own nc
ton to make timely reduction. Its
charges are higher now than they were in
the days of imitation. The l. gislsture
should exercise its undoubted power to
compel their reduction. \ bill to that
end is stigmatized as mere blackmail. If
it fail of passage it may probably be re-
garded as successful case of blackmail
If it be enacted it will be known to GER
tainty that no attempted bribery was eff
feclive.
The other monopoly is branch of the
Bell Telephone Company operated under
an organization in Illinois. For wretched
service it imposes excessive tells. 1t is
proper subject for regulation. The leg
islator who refuses TO assist in protecting
the people against the rapacity of this con-
Germ may tiud it difficult to make excuses
to his constituency.

About Towns
Beiton journal.


More towns die for the want of conf
Gence in the business men and lack of
public spirit than from rivalry from
neighboring towns or adverse surround
rngs. When man in search of a bust
ness location goes into place and finds
everything brimful of enthusiasm over
the prospects of the place, all earnestly
at work TO build up the town, he soon be-
comes imbued with the same spirit and
as 4 result ne drive down his stakes and
goes to work with the same interest. But
when he goes to town and everyone eX-
presses doubt and apprehension in the
future prosperity of the place, moping
about and croaking over imaginary evils
that are likely to befall the town, he
naturally feels that it's 40 place for him
and immediately pulls with all possible
speed for some other town. Consequently
try to make live progressive town out
of the one in w5Ich you live. When you
are working for or ssying a good thing
for your town, you are accomplishing GIL
the more for yourself.
